Once upon a time ..there was a merry group "The weanies". The weanies were cut throat vegetarians, virtually dependant on their supply of greens.. So much was their dependancy that their entire lives were twined together like snakes in copulation. But there were problems soon to emerge betwen the weanies.
The main one being TIME.
The weanies always indulged in childish activities which would other wise never have significance in their single lives. And always there were two from the group who were responsible for the delivery of the greens. They would toss small green balls of the "stuff" - they called the elixir of life.. when used the green balls would give life a new meaning. things would be different . then others would come to devour the greens .But then it required some amount of processing before it could be taken in. Rather u would say that was the "luxury" of it. Small white elements were required to encapsulate the greens to make them less toxic and more edible.
There after this was used to feed millions of thoughts that the weanies had and of many others..their dreams were galore ..with infinitesimal energy they were capable of anything . Even conquering the world .. but sometimes in your dreams lies ur fate.
The weanies were part of a complex ecosystem some called society , yet others called the food chain . They saw him coming and they knew it was time to go. Time had placed a ransom on their heads. But to know that they were the ones who were running the whole world . the epicentre of life and to give up one's own existence to bloom newer things more beautiful..more than their little eyes could see ..much beyond the horizon .. yes certainly heaven.As their mother was taken out,the weanies could feel the life get out of them ..but they were happy....
The lily plant was gone ..and the weanies or the photosnthetic cells saw "GREEN" no more

Woe is me!!!!
If there was one thing that i would have done if i was given a second chance at life, it would be to murder turing. He's the one who did it all .. he invented it ..
Damn the computer . and damn all those people who bother to try and understand this bloody contraption. Well most of you would be pondering about why the hell i would be detesting this one eyed menace.
Well lets say after a gruelling ug in trichy , i just came here(sharjah) to get some good shut-eye, relax, and the likes . So my bro said there was something wrong with the sound card .. "aint no sound coming outta that thing" .
Hah ..a menial job for a guy who's been around comps for four years but has "NO IDEA OF HARDWARE". The truth of the matter is that i have never opened a comp in my 21 years of existence .
Remebering all those lovely conversations that left me starry eyed.
Comp nerd:"Well u see the thingamajig goes in to the third port and then you configure the modem . set your dns values.....
Me: " Ok ..that's it huh.So simple"
And well coz my inexperience led me to believe that a sound card was infact a card that goes in to some slot in the comp.
So i set out to open the comp.I had to establish my credibility as an engineer who could understand the box.So i spent 2 weeks inserting and removing the so called "CARD". Finding drivers ..changing the slot...etc etc till i finally did get fed up and decided it was time to get some professional help ( that's right im a computer engineer. So much for credibility ).
There after i approached this charming young man that i met in the basketball court coz word was around that he used to assemble comps.
Me: "Hey i was just wondering if you know how to check out the FCC identification number." ( I was just trying to make conversation )
I told him about the problem at hand and he offered to help . So i gave him the "CARD". And he gave me this look .
And i thought. "He already knows the solution. He knows what to do . Finally here's one person who understands the damn box"
And he said " This is a vgi card . it's for ur display "
Well the should write that on the card.
The truth is that they did have MATROX DISPLAY on the chip.Woe is me .. well then i found out that the sound card was built in and then i tried upgrading to xp and the comp became so slow , i could see the electrons moving on the circuit (i guess that's too much of an exaggeration ).
and then we called my uncle who was computer in charge at his company and he rectified the whole thing.
Moral of the story:We shud have been born in the stone age where there was no comp , women were public property, dinosaurs were pets.......and the better things in life like beer and burgers were yet to be discovered....
Damn you comp ....(111000101010101010101010101010101010)
